Chapter 153
"As long as it makes sense, it doesn't matter how many people there are. Besides, aren't you all human beings too? There are so many of you. Don't you dare to fight for yourselves, for your families, and for justice?"
Shen Jiao said this.
Xue Shun straightened his clothes and patted his face twice, trying not to look so weak and pale. He stood up and got out of the carriage, holding on to the carriage and straightened himself up, promising: "As long as what you just said is true, I will definitely give you justice."
"Is what you said true?" Ma Qianli asked excitedly.
Xue Shun was too tired to speak. He forced a smile and nodded, "Of course."
The sound was very soft, but it sounded heavy to Ma Qianli's ears.
Shen Jiao said at the right moment, "My young master is the seventeenth young master of Tongcai Mountain Villa. The owner's wife is currently on the boat at the dock. We're staying here to deal with these injustices. The young master knows that the people in this hall can't be trusted, and he's also afraid of alerting the enemy with a large scale demonstration, so only the two of us are here. Just lead the way, and find a few more people to go to Yonghe Restaurant with us to retrieve the people. After this matter is handled, the young master will also give you an explanation for your matter."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll listen to you, sir!"
He said several "good"s in a row, then bent his knees and was about to kneel, but Shen Jiao held him up.
Xue Shun: "No need to be polite, just lead the way. These things are ultimately due to our own mistakes. We have wronged you. If I have to bear your head again, I am afraid my life will be shortened."
Ma Qianli was originally filled with joy, not thinking about anything else, nor daring to think about anything else. But now, because of Xue Shun's words, his joy was mixed with some bitter sorrow and grievance.
People are not made of wood, how can they not blame, hate or vent their anger? It's just that they dare not think or cannot think...
As he was leading the horse and the carriage around, he couldn't help but wipe his tears with his sleeves.
Little did he know that Xue Shun, whom he had high hopes for and who claimed to stand up for the people, was actually insecure.
We will take it one step at a time.
His body was even weaker. He was lying on a carriage covered with layers of mattresses and wrapped in a thick quilt. He had just taken four pills before coming out and now he swallowed four more.
If this continues, it won’t be long before these pills are available by the handful.
Shen Jiao wanted to persuade him to stop caring about it, so that he wouldn't get angry to death or get sick to death, otherwise she would be unable to do anything.
But it was difficult for someone to speak up at this moment, and Xue Shun was a stubborn person who would get stubborn from time to time.
Shen Jiao had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.
Quanfu's parents were the bodyguards of Lin Changxi, the young master of Yonghe Restaurant, who was hit hard on the back of the head and carried home, and died three days later.
My father’s name is Quan Shuanwa and my mother’s name is Liu Huaya.
Originally, they were all tenants of the Lin family, but not long after this incident, the Lin family, out of pity for their loneliness and old age, did not allow them to stay in the village anymore. They asked them to move to Tongguli Street in the town and found a house for them to live in, saying that it was for their own good and to provide for their retirement.
But in reality, the two of them had lost their children and their livelihood, and were simply unable to survive. They could only help the neighbors sew and mend clothes, and wash clothes to earn a little money, which was not enough for food and daily necessities.
The place they lived in was not good either, with only one small window, and it was so dark in the room even during the day that they couldn't tell the time.
When Shen Jiao and the others arrived, Liu Huaya was sitting at the door sewing clothes in the scorching sun. Her eyes were so close to the needle that Shen Jiao was afraid that the next needle would prick her own eyes.
Xue Shun was even more frightened and felt more and more dizzy. He could only put most of his body strength on Shen Jiao.
Fortunately, Shen Jiao was very strong, otherwise no one would be able to support him.
"Why don't you wait in the car, sir?"
"No, let's go together."
Xue Shun always felt that it would be bad if he didn't come in person at this time, but he was also afraid of hurting Shen Jiao, so he could only stand up as straight as possible.
Ma Qianli was accustomed to seeing Liu Huaya sewing clothes, but he was scared when he saw Xue Shun walking.
This young lady was fake, but she looked frail and sickly. Ma Qianli didn't dare let her go. He called out from a distance, "Aunt Liu, an important person is looking for you. He's here to make a decision for your family's Quanfu."
"Ah?" Liu Huaya raised her head with squinting eyes, as if she was still a little confused about the situation.
Ma Qianli was about to say it again when she suddenly stood up and said, "Are you here to make a decision for my Fuzi? Qianli, are you here to tease me, an old woman?"
She looked at Xue Shun and the others with skepticism.
It was not until Shen Jiao took out the token and rubbed it over and over in her hand that she began to believe it.
"Yes, it's heavy, those people all have such cards, they are really noble people who come to make the decision!"
She was illiterate and relied on her memory and her feelings. Once she confirmed something, she would immediately let out a wail.
She rushed over crying, stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and asked Shen Jiao and Xue Shun to reach out and hold her up.
Mainly because Shen Jiao was supporting her, Xue Shun thought she was going to kneel down too and was about to persuade her.
But she used her dry and cracked old hands to pat Shen Jiao and then slap him.
Liu Huaya raised her head and wanted to cry, but her tears were dry and she couldn't even wail. She just asked with a heart full of resentment and endless grievance: "Where did you go earlier? Huh? Where did you go earlier?! My Fuzi is dead! You noble people, why didn't you come earlier?!"
Xue Shun's eyes were a little moist.
So is Shen Jiao.
She felt sorry for her clothes. They were not made of cloth but silk, and they were all snagged.
Liu Huaya was forcibly pulled away by Ma Qianli.
He was afraid that Liu Huaya would offend Xue Shun and Shen Jiao, so he couldn't help but complain: "Ah, Aunt Liu, look at you, what are you doing? They mean well, and you..."
He couldn't continue speaking halfway. No one could blame her for the empty look on her face, as if she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Xue Shun stopped Ma Qianli from pulling her, and took a deep breath to help her: "It's my fault, aunt."
I've never seen anyone who loves to take the blame for himself so much.
What could Xue Shun do wrong?
He is just unlucky and was born into the wrong family.
Shen Jiao sighed in his heart and went to help him silently.
Someone has already found Quanfu's father, Quan Shuanwa.
He seemed to be very grateful and even said something polite like it was over and he would not bother them anymore.
Xue Shun was immediately shocked: "That's your own son? You're just going to... leave him alone? You're not going to seek justice for him?"
"Well, what's the point of talking about fairness or unfairness?" the old man bent over and gave a stiff smile. "It's already been sentenced, hasn't it? We accept it. He's dead anyway, so we won't make a fuss about it anymore."
Liu Huaya cried and didn't refute him.
They all looked like cowards, swallowing broken teeth mixed with blood.
Xue Shun noticed something, but still found it hard to accept.
Shen Jiao didn't think there was anything wrong.
Even if the child dies, they still have to live.
What if revenge fails and they are retaliated against again?
Xue Shun also knew that he shouldn't be too harsh on them, but he could clearly make the decision for them.
"Uncle, aunt, please trust me once. No matter what, I will make him pay with blood.
Quanfu's life cannot be brought back, but at least I want him to be able to close his eyes in his grave."
